62nd

2011-06-09T14:06:13-04:00

The 62nd is a corporation dedicated to independence from the main corporations at the onset of the release of perpetuum. Preferring not to live off of other corporations or reside on beta as a cow for the fattening, it has led a solid life of fun pvp/good industry and solid pirating attitude.

You loose everything, so if you have cash, bots, etc, try to trade with someone you trust, to give them back later.

ammunition

2011-06-26T21:05:32-04:00

Each weapon type is capable of shooting four different kind of ammunition, which are actually combination of the four main damage types. These damage types are the kinetic, the seismic, the thermal, and chemical. Robotic armors provide some defense against each, but - of course - in different measures.

artifact_hunting

2011-07-04T09:15:56-04:00

Artifact Hunting is based loosely on the idea that there is a good amount of hidden “junk” around the game that, if sought after, is worthwhile to the player. These can be simple salvage sites or industrial dumps, or more serious infestations of a particular kind of bot in an area, all the way up to truly dangerous - and rewarding - stashes of loot from “Observer” super-NPCs.

Asintec Based on the skyrocketing Chinese industrial potential, Asintec became the dominant corporation in Asia, with the assistance of the high-tech based countries: Japan, Korea and India. Employees are expected to be disciplined and devoted. According to the supplementary agreement, Asintec declared a full-scale offensive against the Thelodica Clan.

attributes

2011-05-27T10:34:29-04:00

Attributes Attributes affect Extension Point costs to level Extensions. There are six attributes from which point can be distributed. Attributes are assigned per character can only be changed at character creation. Military Attributes * Tactics - professional handling of the most advanced weaponry * Mechatronics - engineering and electronics knowledge

benefits_of_outpost_ownership

2011-06-08T15:07:55-04:00

What benefits does an outpost have? Primarily money. The owner receives a certain rate of money each time a transaction is completed on that outpost, be it a repair cost, a market usage fee, or a manufacturing cost. The second benefit is fame of course. Show your rivals that you can maintain an outpost!

calibration_templates

2011-06-04T16:58:29-04:00

Calibration Templates All CT's are either found (in the case of Mk 2 robots, via artifact scanning), or are made by players. They have three attributes worth mentioning: * The type of item the CT represents and will help create * The material efficiency of the CT - how much additional material will be required beyond “perfect” construction * The time efficiency of the CT - how much additional time will be required beyond “perfect” construction

character_creation

2011-06-22T11:38:10-04:00

This is a walkthrough of the character creation process. Remember that your choices here will have a significant effect on extension point costs down the road. A combat focused character will need to use more EPs per level for non-combat extensions, and an industrialist will be at a disadvantage learning combat skills.

commodities

2011-06-10T15:49:46-04:00

Commodity Creation Making commodities is the first step in industry. There are two methods to do so. Both methods rely upon a person's standings with the outpost the work is taking place in, as well as the level of the facility the work is taking place in. The higher the standings, and the higher the facility's level, the better results you will get. (A facility's level can be determined by holding the cursor over the button for that facility in the Outpost - I, II, or III will be displayed.…

conglomerates

2011-10-31T08:32:52-04:00

Conglomerates currently do not exist (May 27 2011) in Perpetuum, but there is an indication of its planned existence in the Agent Profile and Corporate Profile screens. If a cue is taken from the very similar game of Eve Online (and from the definition of a conglomerate) then this will represent an alliance of corporations, with some central monitoring and control structures, as well as the ability to share territorial conquests, rewards, and common communications.

corporations

2012-01-03T14:23:45-04:00

2011-05-28T05:41:31-04:00

The Dead Parrot Shoppe [FOOM] began official activity, as a corporation, in Perpetuum on 5/4/2011. FOOM had been keeping an eye on Perpetuum before that, and several members joined the game shortly after it's release. After a couple weeks, the members decided the game still required some work before it would be viable for the entire corporation. Nearly six months later, another scouting attempt determined that the game was ready for FOOM.

detection_range

2011-05-31T12:35:55-04:00

Signal Detection Ranges The basic formula for signal detection appears to be: (Detection Strength)/(Masking Strength) * 1000 = Range of Detection (meters) Signal Amps and Signal Maskers can modify your robots base scores. However, as these are very cap intensive modules it is unlikely to have them in anything smaller than a mech. Possible, yes; likely, no.

extensions

2012-02-01T13:41:44-04:00

Extensions play a significant role in character development. Since an Agent character is a virtual form, personal development can only be possible through installed programs, or as they are officially called: extensions. Every time you install a new extension, or upgrade an installed one, your remote-controlled avatar will be more professionalized in that activity. Learning a new ability is an instant act. You click on the install or upgrade button, you own the extension.

getting_started

2012-02-01T13:00:55-04:00

Some of the most critical choices you can make in the game are the very first mouse clicks you make. Much like other MMOs, Perpetuum's character creation system dictate a large number of future activities you can do. Therefore, it is critical that anyone making a character understand what they want to do in the game with this character. Specialization is required or your character will be hampered in its ability to train new skills.

ics

2011-07-16T00:33:48-04:00

ICS - Institute of Corporate Security ICS had been one among the many institutes, which later caused the coalition of EU and Russia to drown in the swamp of bureaucracy. The economic potential of the two regions were reunited by a handful of amibtious businessmen, turning ICS into a quasi-democratic, powerful association.

industrials

2011-07-09T11:00:48-04:00

Due to their bonuses, these models exploit and harvest materials more efficiently than other, non-industrial robots. Light robots The once prestigious and noble profession of exploitation and construction has become a disdained activity recently. Due to the prevailing anarchy on war-torn Nia, light workers are considered as useless outcasts.

industry

2011-06-03T13:11:59-04:00

Industry in Perpetuum is loosely categorized into three areas: Commodity Creation (refining/recycling of raw materials/broken junk for construction), prototyping/reverse engineering (for Calibration Templates to set up production runs), and actual Factory-based production. This process is cataloged below.

installation_multiple_accounts

2011-09-04T17:36:28-04:00

Multiple Accounts Players often enjoy having multiple accounts. This allows one account to specialize in one direction (i.e. PVP) and another account to specialize in another direction (i.e. mining). Often, the one account is considered the Main character, with the other character(s) in existence to provide support.

market_trading

2011-05-27T12:00:27-04:00

Currently, approximately 6 months after game release, the ability to make money on the market is extremely poor. It is possible - buy items cheap, sell them high. Unfortunately, the volume of trade is relatively low in game (most established corps are run as communistic enterprises, where they use the public markets minimally), and the items purchased often require large cash investments to begin with.

mechs

2011-05-31T09:18:02-04:00

Mechs represent a huge milestone in the history of robotics engineering. These two-legged, humanoid machines are capable of more efficient combat, industrial operations, and so on. Keep in mind that larger robots are capable of more efficient attacks, but their size also means slower pace, and a larger target - for enemies.

megacorporations

2011-07-26T01:25:29-04:00

Each megacorporation is composed of 9 subsidiary corporations for a total of 27 corporations. Each subsidiary has a “corporate ticker” or abbreviation associated with it. All TM- names are with Truhold-Markson. All ICS- names are with Institude of Corporate Security All ASI- names are with Asintec.

mining

2011-06-28T21:29:43-04:00

Resource acquisition in Perpetuum takes two forms: mining ores and liquids, and harvesting plants. While the end result of both systems is the same - gaining a raw material which can be turned into a commodity or sold - the similarities beyond that point are few.

prototyping

2011-06-16T18:33:11-04:00

Prototyping Prototyping requires research on kernels acquired primarily through destroying NPC robots - a process that is not without considerable risk, as well as time expenditure. Prototyping is best heavily researched before embarking on that course of action. Prototyping on its own is decidedly unprofitable; it is the means to generate the ability to create CT's.

The player in Perpetuum is loosely represented as the remote-control driver of a robot. Robots are generally classified according to their size first and nationality second, although in the case of Niani (industrial) robots, this convention is abandoned for the simple name “industrial.”

This is a tool put together to help in the artifact site scanning process. Granted, the game does allow you to be fairly effective at scanning. However, this tool will increase your speed and effectiveness. It will visually display the potential location of sites on the map of the island you are on and calculate a potential location given enough scanning.

The Arkhe is generally considered a robot with no real use other than the most basic of courier duties. One is given to a player if they die in an outpost with no other robots available. The Arkhe is the standard service robot, provided to each rookie Agent. Since it's quite an early and undeveloped model, try not to overestimate its capabilities.

Thelodica Clan The Clan was trying to get out of the control of the Empire even before the civil war. When the Nuimqol broke away, the Clan saw an opportunity to establish an independent federation as well. As the Thelodica Clan was founded by independent fund-holders, they do not share a homogenous political conviction. Their foreign affairs are not directed towards expansion, as they have no military dominance.
